Hi Friends,
Sorry about being MIA this weekend... I have so many messages! I've been having a bit of a family emergency with my Dad in the hospital unexpectedly overnight and staying with my Mom so she wouldn't be alone. No Wi-Fi in the house (my Dad would still be on dial-up if he didn't have cable! In fact, he is, up in VT where he's on satellite!) ... Ut oh... there's the phone... back to Narragansett! I may or may not be around as much for a few days! He'll be fine though! Full of what my mom calls "piss and vinegar" LOL :)

    jsholmeg: Hi, Mirela...uh, Susand. I'm a former New Englander now living in N.M. Spent a summer long ago in Jamestown; one of the best ever! Only 15 but had a very long leash. Remember going to Narragansett to watch the World Surfing Championships and popping a few 'Gansetts.
    All for now. Adios amiga.

To all of you who have helped me these last few months since I have come to FanStory:
I have just found a bunch of my old writing that I have been looking for for quite some time now. I looked at one poem and I just can't believe how much better I am now than I was then!
Here's to all of you for making me all that I can be! May I be able to return the favor to those who are coming after. :)

Hi!

I want to thank all of you, all 122 of you at last count, who replied to my review poll. I know some of you will be angry, some no doubt thought it was nothing more than a run for the money, as it were. It wasn't. I always intended to review each piece in your replies, as requested.
I had asked the question earlier, in my New Years Resolution, was applauded for the idea by most, put the rest aside as those who just wanted their ribbons and bows and moved on, so as not to be yelled at and have to deal with the retaliation.
I'm sorry for those of you I already know and adore that got caught up in my little tantrum, but I got lied to for the last time, hit a wall and just lost it like a 2-year old. I needed to meet new people, knowing first what they expected, to save myself the aggravation. I want it Real, not Memorex. I started in the area I usually frequent then bounced around to meet new people. For those of you who were worried about being put on a "list" rest assured, it was only for me not for any type of FanStory publication. It was just to save myself the aggravation. I will be answering these in the order they arrived, and they came pouring in rather quickly so don't be surprised if it takes a day or 3 to hear from me! Thank you for your patience...

I'm glad to be out of my room... it's hard going to bed without dinner after you've been taken out behind the woodshed and had your ass turned red... ;)

Susan

    Sarkems: I think it was a good idea, and I'm sorry you were put in FS jankers for it. Fair play to you for going back and reviewing. For the record, I'd be an 'honest feedback' person, but I didn't have a post up when you were doing the rounds.

I truly want to thank everyone on FanStory who reviewed my poem, Forever More, and sent good wishes to my Mom during her recovery. I was reading her some of these reviews while she sat in that dreaded nursing home fully anticipating her release.
She saw the picture and her first comment was about my father and the fact that he most likely didn't even taste the champagne in his hand! I said, "No! I'm sure he dipped the tip of his tongue in before he put it down. It was his own wedding!" We had a giggle over that. She read the poem and really liked it. (Thank goodness!)
I read her the four or five reviews that were there at the time. She kept asking me who wrote that one and how did they know she was here with a bad hip?
She was very touched by all of your well wishes as am I. She should be sprung by the end of the week. :-) Thank you all again. Susan

It's been a long few days. Taking care of my boyfriend's father, who's in ill health, and not now being able to pay any attention to my own. Thank Heaven for my sister!

I have only been here a couple of days and have only shared a couple of things but they have been well received and everyone is so encouraging. I try to be the same but you all should know that I have trouble coming off as less than abrupt sometimes. Nothing is meant by it. I'm just naturally sarcastic. It occasionally gets me in trouble with my family so I'm going to apologize now and get it out of the way!!!
Thanks to you all for your kind words and suggestions, I truly appreciate it all.
Susan
